  Case: Student Motivation
I teach foreign language and for two of my three courses there is no final required at the end of the year and no Student Learning Objective. Students know that all they have to do to complete the class, is pass. Students will therefore take their grade of a C, even when given the opportunity to improve it, and move on. What can I do to increase the student's intrinsic motivation? How can I encourage them to try harder- to push for an A or B instead of a C?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Start a classroom rewards system where students can earn homework passes and other prizes for good grades.
